Yamaha LL16 Acoustic Guitar

little ice — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:30:43 +0800

i was surprised by this acoustic guitar model from yamaha, saw it in a showroom. i was immediately shocked by the sound it produced - very rich and clear, and very projecting! the sound is like coming out from the instrument and so free!

then i just give it a test, although i'm no guitarist (you know, 6 chords + kapok up and down lol), i can tell this instrument is very very responsive, and doing different tone colour on this guitar is like a dream, so easy!

and the price tag? rm3600++, before discount. i can't imagine anyone can get better guitar than this, this is by far the best guitar i've ever heard. i really wonder if one really need to spend rm10k for guitar brands like taylor?

sorry if i sound like i know everything, but seriously, i want to know more about guitars that why i asked.

(WTS) Original Music Softwares

little ice — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 23:16:58 +0800

Item(s): Various original softwares used for productions

Package and price:

Ocean Way Drums - RM2300 *Price Lowered!*
40GB set of *premium* drum samples, you won't believe how good it is, probably the best in the market. Free updates are around the corner so it's a big plus for you.

BFD 1.5 - RM500
I originally bought this to upgrade to BFD 2.0 but since I bought Ocean Way Drums so didn't upgrade it. You can upgrade it for $200 and you get both BFD 1.5 and 2.0, if you straight away buy BFD 2.0 you gotta pay $399 and you won't get the sound from BFD1.5

Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 + Music Production Toolkit - RM1300
So this is the older version (latest is version 8), sold together with Music Production Toolkit (there's a newer MPT 2 which has got much stuffs but also more expensive). Price lowered quite a bit to allow room for you to upgrade to version 8. Upgrade to version 8 you can have even more track counts and new features, however you save quite a bit if 7.4 is enough for you. Please check if the soundcard you bought is compatible with this version of Pro Tools.

Bluthner Digital Model One - RM600 *Price Lowered!*
Very nice piano library, I can provide you my personal EQ setting for this. It's of a very mellow kind of sound quality.

Prominy LPC - RM1000 *Price Lowered!*
Very detailed electric guitar samples, must use with ampsim to sound good and real. Includes both GIGA and Kontakt formet (GIGA format has been discontinued and not supported anymore so if you want GIGA version here's your chance)
PS: I have to check whether ownership transfer is applicable for this library

Warranty: No warranty needed for softwares.

Dealing method: COD in KL/PJ/Cheras area

Location of seller: Cheras area

Contact method/details: PM me for details

Age of item: Ranging from 1 year to 3 years, but softwares won't age, and I'll make sure they're up to date as you would buy them as new.

---

Item(s) conditions: Strictly COD. Prefer musicians who know their stuffs to buy from me.

Picture: Please ask for photo and I'll send it to you.

Reason for sale: I'm quitting my job as a music arranger.

UPDATE: I finally decided to keep the softwares until further notices.

Streamyx and AIG Insurance

little ice — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:07:27 +0800

ok, i received a call from streamyx and saying that i can apply for personal insurance for very low price per month and the offer was quite good for a layman (i never apply before).

but i also need to give out my credit card number because the rep asked right on the spot. suddenly i realize why should i provide my card number without even having a clear idea of what it is all about, at least some black and white paper or website? so i said i forgot the number during telling the number halfway and the card is not with me (which is true also). some more the phone number is "private no" so i can't even confirm who's calling. but the rep do have my correct address registered under streamyx account.

i was told that it's only available for customers who subsribed streamyx for more than a year. anyone receive similar call?

Anywhere selling StudioLogic Fatar keyboards?

little ice — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:33:48 +0800

hi all,

i'm looking for a replacement for my retired old roland keyboard. anyone know anywhere selling this brand "SudioLogic Fatar" keybaords? they make only MIDI controllers (means no sound but only keys and etc) but they're cheap yet very good quality controllers, most expensive is still under RM3k and comparable to yamaha or similar quality brands.

if i'm going to order it through online, the shipping alone will cost me a bomb. hopefully there's dealer or shop that bring in this brand.

PS: here's the website if anyone interested to have a look. http://www.studiologic.net/index.html

Speaker on iPhone 3G

little ice — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:45:27 +0800

Hi all!

I've read that iPhone has some of the quietest speaker on phones, which is the only thing that keep me from spending a fortune for this phone...

But is that really THAT bad? I mean, not loud enough?

Oh does it have vibration mode?

Sorry for the dumb question, I've read the FAQ but I wished to have opinions in details. Thanks in advance!

Music education and career

little ice — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 01:14:49 +0800

there's been some threads discussed about music schools and fees, and some career discussions going on in some irrelevant threads. so i'm suggesting a thread dedicated to music education and career. forumers can share their experiences, as well as seeking for helps like choosing colleges/uni, career etc etc. this thread is going to be huge and with a lot of database about music schools, fees, colleges, universities, and all sorts of careers like teacher, performer, music engineer, composer, arranger etc.

any volunteer going to start this thread? i'm lazy to update the first post and post informations given by forumers.

___________________________________________________________________________

OK, the discussion is on, guess i have to be the TS and manage this post. please tell me if there's anything i should manage this thread.

as a general rules of this thread, before you post anything destructive and bashing, studying the word "respect".
